Ladder On Road Causes 3-car Crash

Davie — A ladder fell off a vehicle and caused a three-car accident on Interstate 595 just east of Hiatus Road on Friday.

No one was injured in the accident, which started about 2:20 p.m., when Steve Savage, 42, of Plantation, saw the ladder on the road and slowed down.

Savage's car was rear-ended by a van, operated by Arlie Vernon Hash II, of Weston. Savage's car then skidded and was struck by another vehicle, driven by Jose Diego Escobar, 55, of Fort Lauderdale, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
